"... we were able to back the prosecutors into a corner ...Forcing the prosecutors to drop the hate crime is a huge victory for Cassidy and for religious freedom"

It's funny how taking a plea bargain equates to "forcing the prosecutors" and then claiming it is a victory for religious freedom.

It isn't a victory for freedom of religion. It is nothing more than a plea deal. He took the lesser sentence to avoid potentially losing in court.

I am not a fan of the plea system because it allows for abuse but it is the system we have in place.
